The Microlensing Planet Search (MPS) project monitors microlensing events discovered in progress in search of microlensing planets orbiting faint stars toward the Galactic Bulge. We report on observations by the MPS and MOA Collaborations of high magnification microlensing event MACHO-98-BLG-35 which has a low amplitude deviation which is consistent with the expected deviation caused by a planet with a mass of 2 x 10(-5) of the mass of the primary lens. We indicate how, for future events, additional observations might provide data sufficient to claim discovery of a low mass planet, and we also discuss the future explansion of the MPS Project.
